Bovnton,s Replv to Colonel Fred Grant.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-In regard to the
letter of Colonel F. D. Grant of February
S to Major W. G. Carroll, of Baltimore,
General Boynton says:
Colonel Grant seems to forget the publication
of the letters of General Rawlins and other
facts related thereto was in reply to an attack
upon the gentleman connected with the Com
rqsrciaI Gazette, initiated and conducted by
those who assumed to be the friends Of Gen
eral Grant, and that it was carried on by them
with much bitterness for year and half, he
fergets that it was based upon private let'
ter of Mr. Halsteads, written during the war,
conveying to q Cabinet officer some very start
ling facts in reg&d to the habits OF the COM
manding General on the Mississippi which II
was proper to communicate, and most lmpor-
tant to have privately known. He seems also
to forget that these published letters of Genera.
Rawlins, admitted to be correct in the very let
ter which he now condemns, fully estabhsh the
correctness of the essential facts thus privately
made known to Mr. Chase at the time when
there was ample ,eason to fear that they might
put in peril the safety Of the army.
So long as the newspaper assaults were on
one side, and one side only was dealing in
stolen private letters, and treating them in the
discussion as if the author had opened public
attack upon the memory Of General Grant, the
contest seemed to afford general and
prolonged amusement to all concerned
in carrying it on, but since those
attacks have turned upon the field with
the conclusive evidence of the Rawlins letters
upon the main points of the controversy, there
has been much to say of assaults on dead
heroes and of assassins Of character. The dis
cussion is not a pleasant one, but from the first
it has been forced by those who assume to be
the friends of General Grant, 1t has nov
reached a stage where 1t rests with them to say
whether it shall go on until the sorrowful array
of details but partially outlinedby the Rawlins
letters become part of the unQuestioned his
tory Of the war. There are countless homes OF
mourning in the land in which, in view Of the
revelations OF those letters, the question Will
inevitably arise whether the death shadow did
not fall upon them because of orders which
should not have been given, or bunders which
a clear head would not have made There iS
something due to these heroes and TO those
who gave them to the country The least OF
all which the country owes them is that way
history shall be truthfully written.

The Italian Massacre in the soudan.

home, Feb 14-Oficial reports hav~
been received by the government from
Massowah stating that Colonel Boretti,
commanding the Italian troops at Saati,
discovered at eleven o'clock on the morn
ing of Jan uary 25 that the heights over
looking his camp were occupied by thou
sands of Abyssinians. Boretti sent a
partv under command of Lieu
tenant Como to dislodge the Abys-
sinians. Lieutenant Como surprised
the enemy and attacked him at once.
The Abyssinlans boldly advanced to meet
the Italians and fought desperately until
five o'clock in the afternoon, when they
were repulsed with heavy loss and re-
treated from the field. Borettis losses
were sufficiently heavy to justify him in
applying for reinforcements, which were
dispatched to him at once. The reinforc-
ing column, commanded by Colonel De-
cristo Foris, met with serious delays,
owing to the difficulty of transportation,
and during one of his enforced
halts, Colonel Foris learning that
the force of Abyssinians he was
likely to meet was larger than he had
supposed made application for additional
men and guns. These were Immediately
sent, but when they arrived at the place
indicated by Colonel Foris as meeting
place they found that FORTS and his entire
command had been massacred. The bodies
of the dead Italians were lying where
they fell. Many of them were badly mu.

81 Thave made no search for other illus
trations." the President adds, "and tho
above being at hand are given as tending
to show that estimates can not be relied
upon in such cases."
Continuing with his objections to tho
bill, the President says: "If none should
be pensioned under this bill except those
utterly unable to work, am satisfied that
the cost stated in the estimate referred to
would be many times multiplied, and with
constant increase from year to year, and
if those partially unable to earn their
support should be admitted to the priv
ileges of this bill, the probable increase
of expense would be appalling. l
think it may be said that at the
close of the war of the rebellion,
every Northern State and great majori-
ty of Northern counties and cities were
burdened with taxation on account OF the
large bounties paid our soldiers; and the
bonded debt thereby created, still consti.
tutes large item in the account OF the
tax gatherer against the people. Federal
taxation, no less borne by the people than
that directly levied upon their property, is
still maintained at the rate made neces'
sary by the exigencies Of war.
'If this bill should become a law, with
its tremendous addition to our pension OBJ
legation, / am thoroughly convinced that
further efforts to reduce the Federal reve.
nue., and restore some part Of it to our
people, will, and, perhaps should be, seri'
ously questioned. 1t has constantly been
a cause of pride and congratulation to the
American citizen that his country is not
put to the charge Of maintaining large
standing army in time of peace. Yet we
are now living under a war tax which has
been tolerated in peaceful times to meet
the obligations incurred in war. But for
| years past, in all parts of the country, the
demand for the reduction of the burdens
of taxation upon our labor and production
has increased in volume and urgency.
81 am not willing to approve measure
presenting the objections to which this
bill is subjected, and which, moreover,
will have the effect of disappointing the
expectations of the people and their de-
sire and hope for relief from war taxation
in the time of peace"
The President closes his message by
| saying;
"The evil threatened by this bill is, d
my opinion, such that, charged with
great responsibility in behalf of the peo-
pie, can not do otherwise than to bring
| to consideration of this measure my best
efforts of thought and Judgment, and per-
form my constitutional duty in relation
thereto, regardless of all consequences,
except such as appear to me to be related
to the best and highest interests Of the
| country"

IN an Embarrassing Situation.

A rather comical adventure befell two
very stylish young American married
ladies the other day on the bouleVards,
writes Paris correspondent. They set out
to take stroll and to look at the shops,
and while slowly making their way along
the crowded thoroughfare they were
struck by the amount of attention that
they excited. People stopped and gazed
at them, and altogether they felt them
selves quite the success OF the afternoon
Suddenly one of them chanced 10 iook
around and realized the situation. "Good
gracious, Kitty!" she gasped, tive are
walking between two of the sandwichmen
of the Paris Casino-we are being taken
for advertising womenn The sudden
way in which my two pretty young coun-
trywomen disappeared down the nearest
side street can be better imagined than

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, d. c., April /, 1887.
iFrom Our Rcgular Corro,po0den,)

iFrom our Regular Corro,poadent)
Probably never before in the his :
tory of the United States Treasury
Department has Secretary been sp-
pointed who was SO universally pop
ular as is its new head. Not the
faintest sound of criticism or com
plant Of Mr.. Fairchild is to be heard
from any source. When the first ru-
mors of Secretary Manning's resig'
nation were circulated about the
Department, the wish was expressde
by his subordinates on all sides that
the Assistant Secretary would be
promoted to succeed him.
Without discussing such profound
questions as Mr.. Fairchild's financial
policy, it can be truly said that not
in years has there been Secretary
of the Treasury SO Leartily congrat-
ulated, and never before did Sec
retary open his doors to shake hands
and receive the personal congrstula'
tions of those under him, even down
to the lowest rank.
1t was in last September, during
the absence Of Secretary Manning
and certain other important officials,
that Mr.. Fairohild, as Acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury, performed an
immense amount of taxing brain
work. 1t was at period which WAS
probably the busiest IN the history
of the department. He performed his
difficult task with such marked abil-
ity aud energy that i; could not 9TH
erwise than win for him the admirA.
tion and confidence of the country
at large as well rs of the President,
1t is SAID that Mr.. Cleveland then
made up his mind that in the event
of Secretary Manuing's permanent
retirement from the Cabinet the man
who had lor so long aud So ably been
the practical Secretary Of the Trea +.
ury should be rewarded for such
distinguished merit.
The appointment Of Mr.. fairshild
is also All evidence that the strong,
con, ervative financial policy under
which the country has passed from
all era Of profound depression to the
eve of new period of prosperity aud
hope, is to be continued for the re-
naming two years Of the present ad,
ministration. The effect Of his pro-
motion viii be to prevent any i il.
rious agitation of the money market,
such as might have occurred If man
in whom the public had less conf
dence had succeeded Mr.. Manning.
Now current values will not be
disturbed bv the smallest fraction.
Everything inside aud outside of the
Department will move on without a
ripple; and, except that Mr.. Fair
child has no taste for the practical
